By Jan Ashby

Hi. If you are “coconutty” like me, you can appreciate this compilation of individual coconut desserts.

I did my best to find recipes that are in the great category – meaning they truly are quite scrumptious. Many of these recipes use coconut milk, and some will use coconut flour; some also employ the use of coconut cream – like this first one, for

For this, you’ll also use REAL vanilla (the seeds of half a Vanilla bean). And coconut flakes, and coconut sugar.

This has many nice flavors in it, including cinnamon – visit RECIPE
